Pacific Car & Foundry Builders Photos

I am curious to know if anyone on the list has any "definitive"
information on the disposition of the Builder's photos files from
Pacific Car & Foundry. A gift of 5 photos of Western Fruit & Fruit
Growers subjects leaves me wanting more and I wonder if PCF's photos
survived its demise in 1988.

When I last talked to a friend who worked at Peterbilt (a connected company) about ten years ago, he said all the PC&F archives were boxed up and in storage. Whether that is still true, I don't know.

In this topic, does anyone recall a soon to be finished book on FGE, that was explained as being the size & scope of the PFE research volume by Thompson, Church, and Jones??

Fred - A while ago, Pat O'Boyle of Pacific Limited was contemplating
such a volume. He had a LOT of info about FGEX and a lot of photos
too. He imported an excellent FGEX/PRR R-7 in "O" scale about 20
years ago. Pat has had a lot of problems with his import business and
may now turn to publishing his books. A.T. Kott
